Managing Marketing: The disruptive effect of change on organisations

The only thing that is certain is change. But the pace and frequency of change today feels relentless. In the Managing Marketing podcast we discuss change and change management and the increasingly disruptive effect of change on organisations relentlessly being changed in response to changing market circumstances and technological innovations. How do you manage change without burn out?

How to manage organisational change in marketing

Just as organisations are changing, marketing is changing both in role and structure. How do you manage these changes in marketing and ensure the delivery of the marketing objectives? How do you ensure that marketing remains aligned to the business strategy and deliver the results required? This provides you with the framework for managing the transformation in marketing to meet the changing needs of your organisation.

Managing Marketing – the challenges facing marketers in an increasingly complex marketplace

Change in marketing is being driven by the increasingly complex market place, with increased market fragmentation and increased channels. In this podcast we discuss these increased complexities and the challenges they pose for marketers including media transparency, agency remuneration and the role of marketing procurement.

In this podcast we discuss the business and organisational role of brand and the function of marketing in driving customer value and delivering growth to the organisation.

At a time of increasing complexity and change, it is natural to want things to stay as they always have. But the fact is that staying the same is the same as getting left behind and so marketing needs to look at alternative strategies and tactics that take advantage of emerging opportunities. Simply doing the same thing over and expecting a different outcome is insanity. Here is some handy sanity.

Cultural barriers to change in advertising agencies

In the face of the rise of the consulting firms moving into marketing and advertising, agencies cling to their creative credentials, highlighting this as the advantage over the number crunchers of the consulting firms.
